A flick of a switch, and electrochromic films change their colors. Now they can be applied more safely thanks to an innovation with water.

A flick of a switch, and electrochromic films change their colors. Now they can be applied more safely and more commonly thanks to an innovative chemical process that makes them water soluble. They can be sprayed and printed, instead of being confined behind safety implements to handle volatile and toxic fumes.

Second year of summer workshops in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences is another step toward joint degree program

August 15, 2017

Georgia Tech's School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences hosts undergraduates from Peking University for the 2nd consecutive summer.

Nine Peking University students learned how Georgia Tech researchers study air quality and climate science during the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences' second summer workshop for PKU undergraduates.

The aim of targeted gene-based cancer therapies could be skewed from the start more often than not, a new study shows.

The aim of targeted gene-based cancer therapies could be skewed from the start, more often than not. The widespread practice of using elevated RNA levels to pick cancer drug targets could be inaccurate two-thirds of the time. The widely assumed correlation between those RNA levels and the levels of cancerous protein molecules, the drugs' actual targets, proved incorrect 62% of the time in a new study in ovarian cancer cells.

In exactly one week, the great American eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017, will sweep across the U.S. The Georgia Tech campus has geared up for a safe and enjoyable eclipse experience, beginning with the distribution of solar-eclipse glasses.

Website celebrates inspirational scientists

August 14, 2017

Turning a benefactor's wish into reality, College of Sciences launches website celebrating the scientific life of Betsy Middleton and John Sutherland.

Campaign Georgia Tech concluded in historic fashion on Dec. 31, 2015. Better than any other unit at Tech, the College of Sciences remembers that final, dramatic day. Just hours before the close of the 10-year campaign, Georgia Tech secured the commitment of John Clark Sutherland to establish an endowed dean’s chair in the College of Sciences.
